Covid

[Bull5160]

Hi guys

Some advice. Both my boys aged 20 and 17 have covid. 20 year old on day 6 ,17 just on day 2. I'm ok did another pcr waiting for result back. Question is do they need to do another pcr or lateral after 10 days? Thanks xx

Hi Bull5160. I’m glad to hear you’re okay, and hope you stay well. According to the government website they don’t need to test again and they can leave isolation so long as they are symptom free or just have a residual cough or loss of taste/smell. Link here gov.uk/government/publicati...

Thank youWasn't sure. My pcr came back negative so did my husband. So fingers crossed. Weve both been doubled vaccine and I had covid in the early stages. Xx

No, Covid stays in your body for 3 months so it would come back positive. After day 10, most people are not contagious. I had Covid two weeks ago, still coughing, but otherwise OK.
